simpler system here, run the oil when it stops tilt the tank, think about buying some more... run out again buy a drum. Got an open fire so will try to use that and the oil for when there is company or it really is perishing. Running full bore the oil is about 2 litres an hour. I'm tempted to set up a small solar system for hot water those evacuated glass tubes with a heat pipe inside can readily boil water with a little sun on them.
Tilting tank- be v careful, if you pull any sediment from bottom of tank in then you will end up damaging the boiler! More costly in maintenance. Hence why they leave a reserve in the bottom.
We have eaten 500l in 2 months!!!! I'm thinking that us far far far to fast. How long does 500L last others at this time of year.
